What is an aspheric lens?

In simple terms an aspheric lens is one that is not spherical.

Spherical lenses have exactly the same curve all the way across the surface – like a ball. This creates some areas of distortion – especially around the edges of the lens, a kind of ‘pin-cushion’ effect – when you look through the lens at certain angles. Generally they are quite cheap to make and they are okay for occasional magnifying tasks but it is important to be aware of these limitations, especially if you need a magnifier for regular leisure or professional use.

Aspheric lenses have a more complex surface curve, which reduces or eliminates the aberration, or distortion you get with a simpler spherical lens. It means that overall clarity is improved and there is greater image sharpness all the way from the centre right to the edges. Magnification is more consistent so they really are easier on the eye than cheaper, more basic lenses.

Though aspheric lenses are much more expensive to design and manufacture than conventional spherical lenses it really is worth paying more for the better vision they provide. They provide high magnification across a large visual field with minimal edge distortion. They also tend to be thinner and flatter and hence lighter than bigger, bulbous spherical lenses, which is why some people choose them for their eyeglasses.

Eschenbach-Optik – optical excellence since 1913

The Eschenbach company was founded more than a century ago and is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of magnifiers and optical vision aids. Eschenbach’s class-leading range of aspheric magnifiers have specially-calculated lenses for higher magnification and distortion-free viewing. Thanks to their lightweight PXM lenses they are comfortable to use over sustained periods, while an ergonomic handle position makes them equally suitable for both right and left-handed users.
